I was on a road trip this weekend and ended up at a Gander Mountain. I was just brousing around the clothing section, not really looking for anything and then, all ofsudden, I came across a jacket that blew my mind. It was a Dream Season Pro jacket by Scent Blocker. Now, I've never been sold on the carbon clothing thing, so this is post is not about this at all. This is about this particular jacket itself, design and functionality wise. The outer fleece of this thing was extremely soft and quiet. It almost felt as though it really has no place in the woods. Great pocket arrangement with two chest pockets that had a snap button and a really slick bungee cord with hook ins for grunt tubes, rangefinders etc., and two hand warmer pockets below. There were stretch panels under each arm pit area and I believe zippered vents as well. It also has two pull straps under the arms to adjust the fit.

Now for what I REALLY liked. The liner. The liner is made of wool and pretty heavy wool at that. I was very surprised by this. The jacket they had there was a 2XL, which is what I usually buy for layering. I had on a long sleave shirt and a fleece vest. I put the coat on and adjusted everything nice and snug. This jacket felt outstanding as far as fit. With the well thought out stretch panels, there was a lot of freedom of movement and it just overall felt very comfortable.

With the heavy weight zip out wool liner, I really liked the looks of this coat. It was pricey, at 309.00, but if a coat can get you from late september through February, I don't think its too much to ask.

Does anyone have the jacket? Any experiences with it?
